The ratio between a two-digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is 4:1. If the digit in the unit place is 3 more than the digit in the ten's place, what is that number? |

36 |
Let the ten's digit be $x$. Then the unit's digit is $x + 3$. So, the number is: $10x + (x + 3) = 11x + 3$ The sum of the digits is: $x + (x + 3) = 2x + 3$ Given: $\frac{\text{Number}}{\text{Sum of digits}} = \frac{4}{1}$ $\frac{11x + 3}{2x + 3} = 4$ $11x + 3 = 8x + 12$ $3x = 9$ $x = 3$ Therefore:
Hence, the number is: 36 |
